It seems its been much too hot lately to go to Mt. Evans, so to the Park we go. The incut crimps suit the warm weather much more than the sloping, crystalline granite near Idaho Springs. I will not lie, however, it has been extremely hot and the mosquitos are almost intolerable. This hasn’t stopped [...]

Last Saturday I went up to Upper Chaos with Brian Capps. I was psyched on Eternia V11. There are only a couple problems V12 or harder that I haven’t done yet in Upper Chaos. One of which is Leviathan Style, which has gone unrepeated since a hold broke. The other is Jade, Daniel’s new V15. [...]

Today we went up to The Park. I was not expecting much with my split tip, but there was a fun crew there and I was psyched. The high in Boulder was near 90, however, a nice breeze kept conditions fairly good up in the talus. Angela climbed very well today and I think she [...]
